“Violence against women is both a cause and a consequence of gender inequality and has direct costs on the democratic and economic development of a country,” says Elaine Conkievich, UN Women Representative to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. “UN Women commends the political will and efforts made by the Government of Kazakhstan towards ending violence against women and children.”
The Government of Kazakhstan has already taken several measures to continue addressing the issue well beyond the length of the pilot project. Dedicated centres to work on violence-related issues have been established in each district of South Kazakhstan, including a free social and psychological centre for women survivors in the ToleBi district. A new Department for Family Affairs in the South Kazakhstan region will drive the implementation of progressive policies for women, youth and families. Soon anyone applying for a marriage certificate in Kazakhstan must complete a mandatory educational session on domestic violence.
